Wait and See.

New York Times of August 9th.
The Baltimore Sun is disposed to
shield Higgins, Thomas, and Raisin
against the accusation of the Balti-
more Reform Association. 1t fears
shat The Times has been made the
victim, "in common with Mr.. Geo.
William Curtis and other eminent
Mugwumps, of the selfish intriguers
and reckless slanderers who, under
the hypocritical mark of civil service
reform, have for merely personal or
party ends devoted themselves to
the task of defiling the fair fame Of
their State and city so successfully
that they have been enabled to con-
vince many we'll meaning and honest
people In other cities that Baltimore
Is really "a plague spot on the Adj
ministration record.'"
But this wordy defense does not
defend. To call the members Of the
reform associations RECKLESS SLAM
derers" ismuch easier than to meet
and refute their charges. but it is not
so satisfactory to those who seek the
truth /; and the charges made in this
case, with details and specifications,
have been widely accepted as true
and will continue to be accepted I'M
til they are disproyed. And it is
certainly very short-sighted policy
to conceal or gloss over the facts,
which are certain to come out in the
forthcoming report of the inquiry
now being made by gentlemen whom
the Sun would hardly call "reckless
slanderers." The Missouri Repu6H-
can has truer perception of what
the interests of its party demand in
respect to Higgins. 1t says: "Turn
him out. The Democratic party is
sick of hearing him."
There is one other consideration
which the Baltimore friends and de-
tenders of Higgins as well as the
enemies of the Administration who
are rejoicing at the embarrassments
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1887-08-20

which Senator German has brought
upon it will do we'll to keep in view.
1t is as yet some weeks too early for
the conclusion that licenses have
been issued to Higgins and his fell
lows to trampIe the Presidents order
under their feet and to bring both
his courage and his sincerity into
question as often as Democratic pri-
maries are held in the city of Balti-
more. 1t is too soon to hold them
acquitted of offenses already COM
mitted.
1t is not to be supposed that Mr..
Cleveland approves their behavior or
enjoys the comment it eyokes. 1t
may reasonably be supposed that he
has not yet been convinced that they
are as black as they are painted, or
that he has some reasons which he
has not yet revealed for his failure
to act in case which to the public
seems to demand prompt and deter
mined action.
But to suppose that men he has
appointed to Office are to continue to
defy him and disobey his orders and
to express upon all possible occasions
the utmost contempt for the prin-
ciples which distinguish and charac-
terize his Administrator is to assume
that his character and his public
aims have of late undergone an as
tonishing change, which we by no
means believe.

The Baltimore Sun of Monday, in
speaking of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal. said:
life has been preserved by one
mode or another from time to time,
and there are many good reasons
why the work should be maintained
as going concern but there is no
doubt that another crisis in the affairs
of the canal has been reached. which
will call very soon for prompt and
decisive action by the people of
Maryland. 1t is we'll known that
the 100000 of repair bonds of 1878
have been sold to meet emergencies
arising within the past nine years,
and that while the bonds of 1874 were
in the nature of bottomry bonds, and
lien only on the revenues of the
canal, these new repair bonds are a
lien on the corpus of the work, and
default in two successive payments
of interest will warrant the holders
in fOreclosing.
sit is understood that the bulk of
the new bonds is held by single
banking firm. The floating debt of
the canal is yet 100000, although
S146,000 of similar Indebtedness has
been paid within the past two or
three years. The State and other
stockholders have long ceased to
hope for any returns from their in
vestments, and interest payments on
the 1914 bonds have been long sus.
pended. The questions, therefore,
narrow down to consideration of how
long the concern can run on its own
bottom how far can it pay its cur
rent expenses and meet the interest
on the bonds which pledge the cor
pus of the work, and what are its re-
sources for meeting disasters liable
to come at any time from freshets
"The subject forces itself upon the
consideration of the people of the
State and their representatives, and
it would be we'll for US all to realize
the fact and consider carefully, on
the eve of possible action, what it
would be best to advise or to do
when the time for decisive action
arrives. as it must arrive now very
shortly. There are several solutions.
among them the sale of the canal
but to whom would it be the interest
of Maryland to sell; the lease of the
work, which is not encouraging in
view of similar experiment with
the Susquehanna and Tidewater
canals; its conversion into a free
water highway maintained by taxa
ton, as the Erie canal is in New
York state; but will the State of
Maryland submit to taxation for such
a purpose? These are all considera-
tions which the near future is bound
to bring forward they are of prime
importance to the whole people of
the State, who will, do doubt, in
some form or other, have to deal
with them in conclusive way. and
they should be we'll weighed, as we
have said. before the time for action
arrives"

A Certain Cure for Catarrh.

Trimbel, Tenn, Feb, %, 1887. )
Gentlemen-For seven years | have
had catarrh. Three years Of that
time was unable to work. Unfor>
tunately, early in my affection my
breath became very offensive. For
seven years ! could smell nothing, and
| had no taste. How offensive my
breath was all those seven years l
need not :ell. What were my suffer-
ings of mind at not being able to
taste or smell anything, can be easily
imagined. l was treated by physi-
clans all during that time, and l tried
numerous medicines advertised. |
bought one course of treatment | saw
advertised for $l6 that was not worth
FIVE cents. Last spring a year ago a
pamphlet from the Swift Specific Conn
pany came under my notice, and l
determined to try the Specific. Four
teen small bottles completely cured
me that spring and summer. Worked
in the crop for the first time in four
years, and | have been working right
along since without having the Sigh
est return OF catarrh. The wonderful
cure of me has been the means of
bringing S. S. S. to the successful no.
tice Of many neighbors. | regard ii
as a wonderful blood purifier, and u
certain cure of catarrh when given
a fair trial. Yours truly,

ARTESIAN WELL.
SUBSCRIBER

We clip the following from the St.
Louis Republican. AS our citizens
contemplate boring for gas in this
city, it will be we'll to read the follow
ing article:
"The artesiaD mineral we'll recent
ly struck at Clinton is an immense
affair. The we'll is 800 feet deep and
flows a constant stream of clear, cold,
white, sulpher water. Thousands of
people are focking TO it from all sec.
tons of the country. The tests show
that in twenty>four hours it will run
out at least half million gallons,
and the flow seems to be gradually
increasing. A test to see how the
water could he made to rise above
the surface was made last week, but
on account of the failure to make the
presses fit close enough to keep the
water from escaping below. it only
reached height of twenty FIVE feet.
With good fitting pipes it is believed
the we'll will throw a stream eight
inches in diameter to the height of
fifty feet. The discovery of this well
was made by a company of our citi.
zens in all effort to find natural gas.
They are as we'll or better pleased by
the discovery of this great stream,
which they consider cheap at $1,000.
the cost of boring. X x x x II small
streams of water, not much larger
than a couple of your fingers, will
build up a town of $500 people at
Eldorado in Cedar county, twenty
miles from railroad, and cause a syn.
dictate to buy eighty acres of land,
paying $4,000 for it, and paying
probably as much more for improve
ments, and project railroad to that
point, why cannot Clinton, with her
artesian white sulpher well, soon add
from $1,000 to 10000 to Der pOpula.
